These days, everyone is talking about unlocking calendars and liquidation pressure anxiety, but I'm actually more worried about another "silent threat": oracle price feed delays. When you're using leverage/borrowing positions, the price has clearly already dropped, but the feed hasn't caught up yet, and the liquidation line seems to be stuck; when it finally updates all at once, it jumps over the buffer zone, and liquidation happens quickly and harshly, leaving no window to add margin. Conversely, if the feed is slow, others get liquidated first, and you think you're safe, but in reality, it's just not your turn yet. My approach is pretty simple: don't keep your position close to the line, reduce a bit during big swings, even if it means earning less. As for the "long term," I roughly think in quarterly terms; weekly/monthly are too easily affected by these small delays and emotional swings. That's it for now.
